Publisher's Synopsis

""The Minute Boys of the Mohawk Valley"" is a historical fiction novel written by James Otis. The story is set during the American Revolution and follows the adventures of three young boys, Tim, Ned, and Ebenezer, who live in the Mohawk Valley of New York. When their village is attacked by British loyalists and their families are taken captive, the boys decide to take matters into their own hands and join the local militia. They become known as the ""Minute Boys"" and are tasked with carrying messages between the different militia groups and scouting out enemy movements. Along the way, they encounter danger, make new friends, and learn important lessons about loyalty, bravery, and sacrifice. The book is a thrilling adventure story that also provides insight into the historical events and people of the American Revolution.At that moment, while we were making the air ring with our shouts of triumph, I saw a figure emerge from that sinister pile of dead and maimed and come limpingly in the direction of the fort, moving evidently with great effort and slowly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
